Remember just a couple of days ago when CNN host Brian Stelter admitted he’d let Parkland survivor David Hogg make false claims about firearms that Stelter left uncontested?
“There were a few times I wanted to jump in and say, ‘Let’s correct that fact,'” Stelter said. “And at one of the times I did and other times I did not. There’s always that balance, how many times you’re going to interrupt.”
So forgive us if we do a double-take when CNN singles out Hogg as the Parkland survivor who keeps “schooling” lawmakers on social media.

CNN, we know you have a clear favorite of the handful of survivors who’ve been given a media platform, but do you have to make it so obvious?
Nearly everything he has claimed has been factually incorrect.
You should do a review of how @KyleKashuv has schooled him. https://t.co/c5lLPya3mU

For starters, @CNN anchors allow him to lie on national TV and only correct him some of the time. https://t.co/NdLYkH7A07

Its remarkably easy when CNN hosts don't try to fact check the young man (as admitted by….CNN hosts). https://t.co/bo9SaGG7bw
